#83Three of a kind - and no two alike.
Second-generation Orvis/Young Battenkills--my favorite reels. The unidentified one appears to have been repainted with a slightly sparklier finish, but I'm wondering if anyone knows the story behind and/or the dates of the two different scripts. I think the smaller font looks better on this size reel

#84Here are 3 Uniqua reels with the mid-century latch (rivet and screw examples). The two 2 7/8" models are enameled and have the check adjustment while the 3 1/8" is a leaded version without the check adjustment. The 2 7/8" with the screws is a rare Uniqua with the maker's mark (no, not the whiskey!) of "JRJ". I'm on the lookout for a 2 5/8" model with the same latch. A leaded version would be great!
Cheers,
Joe

#91Gorgeous, Bill. It is sad that 99% of the reels made today can’t even come close.

#95The Hardy JLH Ultralite came on the market 1993, two years later, in 1995 came the JLH disc, But the Hardy JLH Golden Ultralite first came on the market in the year 2000 and left again in 2004. Very good looking fly reels but not so many around.NewUtahCaneAngler wrote: ↑02/12/22 13:18Here are a pair of "golden" JLH Ultralite reels circa 1993. A size 5 and a size 6. I've also seen the golden version with a dark drag adjustment knob, but prefer the slightly bronze version as on these two.

#96sovereign wrote: ↑02/12/22 14:49Thank you for that clarification; I was going stictly by the date on the instruction sheets. April, 1995 must have been the last update to those instructions. These reels don't come cheap, but they can be had for much less than the Sage 500 series, which IMHO are not in the same league due to the much simpler drag adjust.NewUtahCaneAngler wrote: ↑02/12/22 13:18Here are a pair of "golden" JLH Ultralite reels circa 1993 (I meant 1995).
